Re: Overloading words: How can we get Oracle to stop it?

Talking about recycle bin.... I remeber I was
fixing/cleaning/curing/etc. PC of a teacher at university... I
obviously cleaned up recycle bin. Boy what a bolocking I got later...
Apparently, she stored there here documents as in archive. :)
I hope delevopers will not use recycle bin of 10g in the same way.
